Ask the Risk Managers: moderated panel discussion with the Victorian Outdoor Providers Network (VOPN) Risk Managers Group
The VOPN Risk Managers Group are collectively responsible for the organisational risk management of approximately 1.5 million student participation days annually, and together represent eight outdoor education organisations. It established itself following the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009 to enable better collaboration and sharing in relation to risk management practices within all our organisations. The group meets quarterly with its sole focus being to collaborate on ways to prevent serious incidents and injuries on our programs, as well as how to be better prepared in the event that things do go wrong.
This moderated panel discussion with some of the VOPN Risk Manager’s Group will focus on sharing and exchanging perspectives around current risk management trends, incident learnings, crisis management, staff training and emerging technologies. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions of the panel.
